Senate Passes Wine Shipping Bill

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- A measure that allows wineries to ship directly to Maryland residents has passed the state Senate. 

The Senate voted 45-0 on Monday night in favor of the legislation. The House of Delegates approved a similar bill on
Saturday. 

Thirty-six other states allow direct wine-shipping. Efforts to let wine enthusiasts get their favorite vintages delivered directly have failed in Maryland over the last two years.
